weird grammar to say someone made it up?

There’s a distinction to be made between things that “look” dystopian, and actual dystopias. I think a lot of our current visual language of dystopia was taken from fascist/communist design choices which were in many respects independent of all the oppression they perpetrated. this example really drove that home for me, since the media it inspired came to mind before the reality.

wow, I was assuming metropolis. it just screams dystopia to me, but I guess they had to get that aesthetic from somewhere

Anybody who gives the slightest fuck about finding an alternative is already aware of kbin/Lemmy.

you exist in a filter for people who know about kbin/lemmy. I only ever heard about them because of hackernews, which is a strong filter.

this is a very rimworld meme
